July 19 (UPI) -- Boston police said they were investigating the discovery of a body at a multi-family home owned Rep. Ayanna Pressley's husband, Conan Harris.

Boston Police Department spokesman James Moccia told CBS News that police received a call at 1:52 p.m. Saturday "for a report to investigate a person." When officers arrived at the residence on Malta Street, they discovered a deceased person.

Moccia said the department's homicide unit was investigating the death.

WCVB-TV in Boston reported that the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds showed that the property was owned by Harris. A realtor for the property told the news outlet that the residence was a rental property and that the people who lived there had been there for a while.

The identity of the deceased person was not released.

Pressley's office issued a statement on the incident.

"The congresswoman extends her deepest condolences to the impacted family," a representative for Pressley told the Boston Herald.
